With evenings drawing in and the festive season approaching, our thoughts turn to epic semi-legal compilations of '60s & '70s funky synth music. Sonic Reclamation Industries have put together a fantastic free downloadable collection called 'Moog Break Beats', which is full of synth-led cover versions, square-wave solos and really excessive effects use (some nice full-track flanging on Sounds Galactic's 'Spinning Wheel'). My own personal favourite is Claude Denjean's awesome version of 'Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye).' (via J-Chot)

I have the one with Na na na kiss him goodbye on it...picked it up in a thrift shop for 50 cents!
They said the idea was to preserve hard to find music. Dick Hyman's Moog albums were re-released on CD a few years ago. Same for Perrey & Kingsley, and Jean-Jacques Perrey's solo stuff (which is all really great, by the way).
